Militia Fine Exoneration Records (PA) 1777-1793

About This Collection

Statements filed by Pennsylvania residents to demonstrate that they or their kin should be exempt from fines being imposed for not serving militia duty. The data appearing differs from document to document. While some statements only list the person's name, residence and reasons for seeking an exemption, others indicate the individual's age, occupation and parents' names. Images are grouped by county. This collection is part of the Office of the Comptroller General which was created in 1782.
